HELP - toddler tipped over Moses basket with newborn in

5 replies

acoffeewouldbenice · 21/07/2021 14:39

Please someone help calm me down and tell me whether we should go see someone. My toddler tipped over the Moses basket where my 7 week old was sleeping by pulling it and letting go. She fell on the floor (carpet) and landed on her back and cried immediately. I feel so terrible and can't stop worrying about brain damage or internal bleeding. I don't know what to do, I'm still shaking. Does she need to be checked out?

Dont panic, stuff like this happens 😊 I fell down the stairs when I was 1 apparently and was fine.
But I’d still ring 111 for advice, because of her age I think they’ll automatically suggest getting her checked to be safe but I’m not 100%. They’ll reassure you either way

Please ring 111 as they may want your newborn checked. Maybe use the carrycot part of the pram for baby to sleep in going forward if you have one. They are much sturdier so less chance of a toddler pulling it over. Hope everything is ok.

I’m sure she’s fine but as pp said, 111 will advise. I used a travel cot for naps when I had a newborn and a toddler.

Don't panic, this kind of thing comes to us all. However I would probably get her checked, I'm sorry.

I would get her checked. I'm sure she is ok but it will reassure you.

I had a whirlwind toddler and a newborn. I gave up on the moses basket because of the fear it would be knocked over. I used either the sling (very clingy baby) or the buggy fully reclined for naps.
